Isle of ParadiseSelf Tanning Body Butter - Hydrating Gradual Self Tan Body Butter for Illuminating Golden Glow, Vegan and Cruelty Free, 16.91 Fl Oz

I love IoP. I've used almost all their products and its one of the only brands that I trust. I got this bottle on sale, but I would NOT pay $60+ dollars for this at its full price though. Its not worth that. However it does work very well. Also, it does come off on towels so be careful wearing white! The other products (the water or mousse) does NOT transfer. All of their products have a horrible smell, but thats going to happen with pretty much every self tanning item you find.

I really didn’t need multiple applications. After just one I was very tan already. Unfortunately there was streaking. User error for sure. I wonder if it’s because I did it fresh out of the shower and my legs were a bit wet. The sneaker pic is after first application. I went for a second application the following night hoping it would fill in some of the gaps. It didn’t. Still streaky. It looks a little orang-y mostly because it looks horrible around my feet and ankles. When I use the tanning water I usually lotion those first. I probably should have tried that here too. I’d say I prefer the tanning water results but the application process with the lotion is less stressful.

Before and after first time applying it, about 12 hours between the pics. It has a little shimmer but definitely not sparkly. Smells about as good/bad as any other tanning lotion. Easy to apply, no clumps, no streaks. Very happy with it!!

I purchased this tanner when it was on sale for $15. I would never pay the original rice of $60, maybe $40 tops but for $15 this was an amazing deal. It is a really big sized bottle too where most tanners come in smaller bottles. I have used a lot of tanners and this one is by far my favorite! No streaking, not a strong scent, very moisturizing and leaves a good tint. Not too dark but not too light. I would highly recommend buying if it is on sale!I have to mention the first bottle I bought came broke, it did not have a pump attached to the tube. Can't believe someone would put it in a box and ship it like that but Amazon is amazing and I had a replacement in one day.

I was under the impression it was a gradual, building self tan so I put it on like a gradual tanner. I woke up the next morning shocked 😂😭 I was tan TAN. It streaked and was splotchy bc I didn’t rub it in good. Make sure you apply evenly and rub it in really really good. I will say, I’m pale with a pink undertone and it’s hard to find self tan that doesn’t look orange or grey on me and this is a perfect golden. I also have extremely sensitive skin and this didn’t irritate me at all. So for what it is, 9.5/10, and great value for the price it’s a huge bottle and the ingredients are pretty clean. Just make sure you know it’s an instant tan not a gradual tan.
